And at today’s event, he dropped a major hint to Liverpool fans of how long he will be with the club.

“For me, especially when I heard we will start in 2020, it's pretty rare that a manager can plan that far,” he said.

“But I'm quite optimistic that I'll be in when we start using the facility. I'm really looking forward to it. It's a great day today.”

Andy Hughes, Liverpool's chief operating officer backed up Klopp’s beliefs, also stating the German has been involved in the new facility’s development.

“Getting all our training facilities on one site is a critical step," he said. "Melwood does need upgrading, and this allows us to create world class, state of art facilities.

“It is a big commitment and investment from the owners. If you want to be one of the top European clubs – and stay there – you have to continue to invest. Having one the best training grounds helps deliver success on the pitch.

“Jurgen Klopp has been involved and the team has been involved, and we have consulted with them. It will look and feel exactly how you'd expect an elite facility for Liverpool Football Club to be.”

Klopp’s men return to action on Saturday when they take on Southampton, hoping to extend their 100 per cent start to the season.
